BEST SITE ARCHITECTURE AND OVERALL DESIGN: 2nd Place

Judge’s Comments: Packed full of information, yet accessible. Use of tabbed primary feature area packs more into the page while keeping it organized and well-designed. Other navigation devices are well thought out.

BEST OVERALL LOCAL NEWS SITE: 3rd Place

Judge’s Comments: The site is not cluttered, with enough white space so as not to overwhelm the user. The use of YouTube and Pictopia better layer the site to give it more depth, and more reason to visit. The commitment to a full-time online editor looks to be a very good decision. The uses of unique elements on the site helps move it above the norm.
